The IBM and Red Hat, Incorporation have announced a strategic collaboration which has been developed to help enterprises benefit from the OpenStack platform’s speed and economics while more easily extending their existing Red Hat virtualised and cloud workloads to the IBM Private Cloud.

IBM, as part of this new collaboration, has turned a Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider, giving clients more confidence that they can use Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Ceph Storage on IBM Private Cloud when the offering launches for general availability at the end of March 2017.

“Our collaboration with IBM is aimed at helping enterprise customers more quickly and easily embrace hybrid cloud,” said Radhesh Balakrishnan, General Manager of OpenStack, Red Hat.

Additionally, as part of the agreement, Red Hat Cloud Access will be available for IBM Cloud by the end of Q2 (April, May, June) 2017, allowing Red Hat customers to move eligible, unused Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions from their data center to a public, virtualised cloud environment in IBM Cloud Data Centers worldwide.

This enables companies to better preserve and extend their Red Hat software investments while providing the global scale and efficiency of IBM Cloud.
